Education
The first and second year curriculum is taught by faculty in the basic science departments which include Biochemistry, Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Immunology, Neuroscience and Cell Biology, Pharmacology, and Physiology and Biophysics.
Clinical experience is introduced in the first year through the Patient Centered Medicine course. Clinical training at RWJMS is conducted with the use of standardized patients, Objective Structured Clinical Examinations (OSCEs), and individual observation and feedback by faculty. All educational experiences undergo evaluation by students and faculty throughout the four years.
Students at RWJMS make active contributions to the medical and scientific community as part of their medical education. All students are required to complete an independent research or service project and publish or present the results as a requirement for graduation.
RWJMS students receive their clinical training at one of two major academic medical centers: Robert Wood Johnson University Hospital in New Brunswick, or Cooper University Hospital in Camden.
The Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences at RWJMS offers the opportunity for advanced research studies toward a master's or doctorate degree at one of three cooperating institutions: RWJMS, Princeton University, or Rutgers University. Its newest program is the Master's degree in Clinical & Translational Research.
